Participants were randomly assigned into 3 intervention groups, including isometric (n=18), isotonic (n=19) and PNF (n=20) exercises, and 1 control group (n=19) with no intervention. Pressure pain threshold (PPT) and the CPM responses at myofascial trigger point, arm and leg sites were assessed before and after exercise session.\u0000\u0000ResultsThere was an increase in PPT and CPM responses at trigger point, arm and leg sites in participants performed PNF and isotonic exercise, while the isometric exercise only increased PPT at leg sites. Compared with control group, both isotonic and PNF group showed greater EIH responses at the trigger points. However, only the PNF exercise significantly improved PPT and CPM responses at arm and leg sites compared to the control group.\u0000\u0000ConclusionsPNF, isotonic and isometric exercises could lead to local and global EIH effect. The increase in CPM response after PNF and isotonic exercises indicated that the EIH mechanisms of different resistance exercises may be attributed to the enhancement of the central descending pain inhibition.","PeriodicalId":73558,"journal":{"name":"JMIRx med","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"62347093","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Froese, Angel G A Prempeh","doi":"10.2196/31955","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2196/31955","url":null,"abstract":"Background Face mask mandates have been instrumental in the reduction of transmission of airborne COVID-19. Thus, the question arises whether comparatively mild measures should be kept in place after the pandemic to reduce other airborne diseases such as influenza. Objective In this study, we aim to simulate the quantitative impact of face masks on the rate of influenza illnesses in the United States. Methods Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data from 2010 to 2019, we used a series of differential equations to simulate past influenza seasons, assuming that people wore face masks. This was achieved by introducing a variable to account for the efficacy and prevalence of masks and then analyzing its impact on influenza transmission rate in a susceptible-exposed-infected-recovered model fit to the actual past seasons. We then compared influenza rates in this hypothetical scenario with the actual rates over the seasons. Results Our results show that several combinations of mask efficacy and prevalence can substantially reduce the burden of seasonal influenza. Across all the years modeled, a mask prevalence of 0.2 (20%) and assumed moderate inward and outward mask efficacy of 0.45 (45%) reduced influenza infections by >90%. Conclusions A minority of individuals wearing masks substantially reduced the number of influenza infections across seasons. Considering the efficacy rates of masks and the relatively insignificant monetary cost, we highlight that it may be a viable alternative or complement to influenza vaccinations.","PeriodicalId":73558,"journal":{"name":"JMIRx med","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46381369","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
